The WebIDL spec states that some of the extended attributes are "undesirable", only defined to support legacy use cases. It would seem useful to report a warning for specs that use these attributes.

More generally, it would be useful to report an anomaly when an unknown extended attribute gets used. This will block publication of webref's IDL package down the road (see w3c/webref#167) but it could be reported earlier.

FWIW, webidl2.js has a warning about using LegacyNoInterfaceObject which I find very unhelpful. The name already says it's undesirable, and at least when dealing with @webref/idl, one has to ignore the warning.
